What Can You Ask Your AI Assistant?

Your OpenClaw assistant is more than a chatbot — it can build apps, write code, deploy projects, and automate tasks. Here are real prompts that work.

Build Full Apps With One Prompt

Chinese Chess vs AI

"Can you use a sub-agent to build a Chinese chess game with AI opponent? The UI/UX shouldn't look too AI-generated. Give me a Cloudflare tunnel temporary URL."

Your assistant will:

Scaffold a complete web app (HTML/CSS/JS or React)
Implement chess logic with AI move generation
Style the board with a polished, human-crafted look
Deploy it instantly via Cloudflare tunnel so you can play immediately

Poker 99 Card Game

"Can you use a sub-agent to build a Taiwan-style Poker 99 card game with AI opponent? The UI/UX shouldn't look too AI-generated. Give me a Cloudflare tunnel temporary URL and upload it to GitHub."

Your assistant will:

Build the full game with rules engine and AI strategy
Create a clean, professional card game interface
Deploy via Cloudflare tunnel for instant access
Create a GitHub repository and push all the code

Developer Workflow Tips

GitHub Authentication

"I want to use gh — give me the authentication URL and device code."

Your assistant can set up GitHub CLI authentication directly, giving you the URL and code to authorize without leaving Telegram.

Quick Deployments

"Build me a landing page for [my project] and deploy it with a public URL."

Get a working website in minutes — your assistant handles everything from design to deployment.

Daily Productivity

Morning Briefing

"What's on my plate today?"

If you've been chatting with your assistant about projects and deadlines, it already knows your schedule and will give you a personalized daily summary.

Research & Summarize

"Research [topic] and give me a summary with key takeaways."

Your assistant can browse the web, read articles, and compile concise summaries.

Email Drafting

"Draft a professional email to [person] about [topic]. Keep it concise."

Leverages its memory of your communication style and context about the person.

Google Services Integration (gog)

OpenClaw connects to your Google account through the gog skill, letting your assistant directly manage Gmail, Google Calendar, Drive, Contacts, Sheets, and Docs.

Setting Up gog

You'll need Google Cloud OAuth credentials, then authorize your account:

"Help me set up gog. I want to connect Gmail and Google Calendar."

Your assistant will guide you through:

Import OAuth credentials: gog auth credentials /path/to/client_secret.json
Authorize services: gog auth add you@gmail.com --services gmail,calendar
Verify connection: gog auth list

Send & Search Emails

"Search my emails from the last 7 days for anything related to [client name]."

"Send an email to sarah@company.com with subject 'Weekly Meeting Confirmation' — just confirm the meeting next Wednesday at 2 PM."

Your assistant can search threads, read messages, compose replies, and even create drafts for you to review before sending.

Manage Calendar

"What meetings do I have next week?"

"Create a meeting next Wednesday at 2 PM titled 'Product Weekly', invite mike@company.com."

View, create, and modify calendar events with color coding and invitations.

Drive & Sheets

"Search my Drive for 'Q1 Report'."

"Add this month's expenses to my expense tracking spreadsheet."

Search Drive files, read and write Google Sheets (supports ranges like A1:D10), and export Google Docs.

Supported Google Services

Service	What It Can Do
Gmail	Search, read, compose, reply, create drafts
Calendar	View events, create meetings, modify schedules
Drive	Search files
Contacts	Look up contact information
Sheets	Read, update, append, clear data
Docs	Export and display document content

Scheduled Tasks

OpenClaw has built-in cron scheduling, so your assistant can run tasks automatically at set times.

Daily Morning Briefing

"Send me a daily summary of my to-dos every morning at 8 AM."

Your assistant will schedule a cron job that proactively sends you a Telegram message every morning with your to-dos, calendar reminders, and project updates.

Monitor Website Changes

"Check [URL] every hour for updates and notify me if anything changes."

Automatically monitors web content and alerts you when changes are detected — great for tracking product prices, job postings, or competitor updates.

Weekly Report

"Every Friday at 5 PM, compile the key points from this week's conversations into a weekly report."

Your assistant reviews the entire week's chat history, extracts key decisions, action items, and progress, then generates a structured summary.

Reminders & Countdowns

"Remind me about the Project Alpha deadline every day until March 15th."

Set one-time or recurring reminders. Your assistant will proactively notify you at the specified time — no extra reminder app needed.

Managing Scheduled Tasks

"List all my scheduled tasks." "Cancel the daily morning briefing schedule."

You can view, modify, or delete scheduled tasks at any time.

Power User Tips

Be specific about UI/UX — saying "don't make it look AI-generated" produces much better designs
Ask for deployment — your assistant can use Cloudflare tunnel, Vercel, or GitHub Pages
Chain tasks — "Build X, then deploy it, then push to GitHub" works in a single prompt
Use sub-agents — mentioning "use a sub-agent" lets the AI delegate complex build tasks
Reference past context — "update the chess game we built yesterday" works because your assistant remembers everything
